RCB currently sits at the top of the points table with 2 wins in 2 games. On the other hand, GT is currently at the number four spot with one win in two games. Both teams will be eyeing adding another big win to their tally.
Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, Kagiso Rabada will be missing the game due to personal reasons. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt will be eyeing to give the hosts a great start to the innings and the visitors will be eyeing early breakthroughs.
Captains at toss
"We'll bowl first. Looks like a good wicket. We've seen the conditions don't change much. We're all about reducing our unforced errors. We'll try to finetune the areas that need it. Kagiso misses out due to personal reasons so we've got Arshad Khan back," said Shubman Gill after winning the toss.

"Would've bowled first as well because it's a new surface. It's pretty hard and won't change much. The way boys are chipping in gives a lot of confidence as a captain. We love this crowd. The way they love us and the support we've always received is incredible. Same team," said Rajat Patidar.
